Facing his most cunning foe, can Robert serve the Lord, save the king, and forestall civil war?

It's 1630 and there's a bounty on the head of King Charles I. English cities are plastered with pamphlets and posters promising riches and honors to whoever kills the king. The Lord Inquirer, Robert Curtis, searches for answers. Who is this dangerous pamphleteer who would launch England and the church into civil war? And how does a Christian man serve a tyrant without becoming an instrument of injustice?

The King's enemies, like his sins, are vast and varied. Trampling on the Magna Carta and the rights of Englishmen, he betrays allies, nobles, churchmen, and humble subjects alike. Famine made grain scarce and costly, but the king sells as a profiteer of misery. Novel new taxes not approved by Parliament add a heavy burden to the starving subjects put out of work by his greed. Families who are displaced from generations of tenancy to make way for mines and the king's sheep on royal lands parade in protest. And his French Catholic wife rocks the foundations of the Church of England.

Can there be loyalty and fidelity in the face of such cruelty? Would even God save such a king?

For God and King is the fourth book of the Robert Curtis Mysteries, a series exploring politics, religion, and stories of faith, mercy, justice, and love.
